Framed Currier & Ives Lithograph The Celebrated Clipper Bark GRAPESHOT 18x24
An important framed “18x24” lithograph of the Grapeshot clipper ship belonging to Geo Law Esq. NY. This print is reprinted from Lith by Currier & Ives, American, active 1834–1907.
The Grapeshot captured headlines in 1855 when it was used to pursue the murderer Louis Baker. Barker's friend John Morrissey had a dispute with William Bill the Butcher Poole, a member of the New York City gang, The Bowery Boys. (Daniel Day-Lewis' character in the movie Gangs of New York was based on Bill the Butcher.) Baker killed Bill the Butcher and fled on the brig Isabelle Jewett. George Law offered the use of his new clipper ship Grapeshot for the pursuit. The offer was accepted and Baker was captured. He was tried three times, each one ending in a hung jury.
